Summary:
The city of Clark Fork, Idaho is home to a single high school, Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school has experienced fluctuations in its academic performance in recent years, ranking as low as 1-star and as high as 3-stars on the SchoolDigger rating system. While the school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, it faces challenges with low math proficiency and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.8%.
Academically, Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School has seen its ISAT/Math proficiency rate lag behind the state average, particularly in the End of Course assessment where it scored just 18.5% proficiency compared to the district and state averages of 34.5% and 34.7%, respectively. However, the school's ISAT/Science proficiency rate of 48.7% is higher than the state average of 41.2%. These fluctuations in academic performance suggest the school may need to focus on improving its math instruction and support for students in this subject area.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with 31.3% of students at Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $13,461 and student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1 indicate a relatively well-resourced institution. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate suggests the school may need to address underlying issues that are keeping students from regularly attending classes. Overall, Lake Pend Oreille School District and Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School have some areas of strength but also face significant challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and addressing student engagement and attendance.
